RFF - "August the First w/ Autumn's Turn"

Tower Auditorium, Mass College of Art
Boston, MA

August the First - 81 minutes

'August the First' begins as a promising day. Preparations are wrapping up for a college graduation party to celebrate Tunde Ibirinde's achievement. Friends and family have agreed to re-unite on this day in his honor. One guest, however, threatens to upset the day's festivities. Unbeknownst to most, Tunde has orchestrated the return of his long estranged father, Dipo, from Nigeria. Dipo's return resurrects unresolved family anguish against the backdrop of Tunde's graduation party. As the day turns to night, the fall-out begins. Old wounds are re-opened and bad habits are revived. Layer by layer, deceptions and half-truths are peeled away as secrets are uncovered in what will become the most unforgettable day the family has ever experienced.

Autumn's Turn - 10 minutes

Autumn is visiting her military father's homeland for the first time. For the most part, she expects and depends on him to chaperone her experience. But as his military obligations set her a distant second among his priorities, Autumn begins to consider the unthinkable: disobey his order to stay home and away from the servants. When a disarming houseboy invites her to attend a local soccer game, will she heed her father's request or chance seeing the town on her own?
